I still have to say I prefer the time change. In the cooler months I like the sun to come up in the morning.
In the long run time is man made. I’ve always been able to over come jet lag. But I mostly travelled for pleasure. Really just sampling foods from as many societies as I can. Stay up the first day so I can sleep at night and wake up in new time. I also sleep very well on planes.
Work or partying can make sleep something you get when you can. You have to have it and can’t bank it. When you have been deprived getting more sleep than you need feels good but isn’t helpful unless you are fighting a bug. Or maybe sleep is a way of not having to endure the malady.
With or without the change the days and nights will always will always happen how they will. We are on a rock that is spinning on a tilt to or from the sun depending on the time of year. DST is a convenience.
I also find I sleep better at sea level on or near the coast of a north south sea like the Atlantic or pacific. The north side of the Mediterranean not so much. In mountains I wake up often and early. Unless I’ve been hiking or skiing. In general more activity the harder I sleep.
